Good idea Jeff. We've had a cell phone since 1988 or rather my husband has. Original phone was over $600, now free. It's crazy how I've become dependent on mine. My husband refuses to text or even learn. For me it's a quick easy way communicate without long dragged out pointless conversations.

Back in 2000 they were saying, you know it's 2000 when for the past 10 years you didn't even have a cell phone and now when you leave your driveway and realize that you forgot it you turn around to get it even tho you're a mile away from home.You also knew in was 2000 when you had five friends you called regularly and you had 15 numbers to memorize.

Jeff, you are learning from the masters. "curmudgeon status"...is that like rank Tenderfoot? I am just a humble student butterfly myself ...simply happy to carry the water and put wood on the fire all the while observing and always awestruck

Stubborn, ornery and bull headed maybe but other than that I am easy to get along with !

The National Institutes of Health has just released the results of a $200 million research study completed under a grant to Johns Hopkins.The new study has found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.

Ken,We're in the presence of humble Masters of the art. Perhaps you & I can bask in the glow radiating from their "awesomeness". (Why is this sounding like something out of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe or Bob & Ted's Excellent Adventure?)

I was just "watching" letterman (Backround noise) as I was on the computer. He mentioned an ad from the Tomahawk Leader stating that folks were invited to watch a 20 foot python eat a 35# pig. Is this for real??
